The Noosa Hinterland is where I was born, where I grew up and where I've chosen to stay. A lifelong storyteller, I studied journalism at USC and have spent over 20 years in the media industry, including four years as editor of a local community newspaper. As a community correspondent for The Grapevine, I am dedicated to giving our community a voice, telling the stories that matter, celebrating its people and championing its causes.
